ASSIGNOR T0 REALISTIC HAIR WAVING HAIR-WAVING OUTFIT.

application filed May 17, 1927. Serial No. 192,067.

'ihis invention relates -to a hair waving apparatus, and particularly to an outtit :t'or waving the hair `from a point close to the scalp to the outer end` The object of the invention is to provide an improved hair waving outfit, wherein an efficient waving is secured and wherein adjustment may be made before or` after the parts have been assembled preparatory to receiving the heat. V A

A further object ot the invention is to provide a hair Waving outfit witli an im. proved structure capable of winding the hair from a' point close to the scalp after the inoistening pad and heating elementhave` been placed in position.

A. still further object of the invention is to provide an improved hair waving outfit designed to exten'd substantially parallel with the scalp when tlieliair is receiving the waving treatment.

In the accompanying drawing-- Figure 1 is a perspective viewA of a hair `waving outfit or apparatus, disclosing an embodiment of the invention;

Figure 2 is a plan view ot a clamp, enibodying certain i'eaturesof the invention.

Figure 3 is an end view of the clamp shown in Figure 2.

Figure 4 is a view similar to Fig. 2, butshowing the clamp in an open position.

Figure is a side 'view ofa coil rod and certain associated parts in operative position.

Figure 6 is a side view with cert-ain parts l broken away of the structure shown in igure 1, the same being on an enlarged scale.

Figure 7 is an end view' of the structure shown in Figure 6.

Figure 8 is a detail perspective view of a shell and clamp, embodying certain features 'of the invention. n

Referring to the accompanying drawing by numerals, 1 indicates a clamp embodying certain features of: the invention, the same 'being designed to be used in connection with a coil rod 2 which receives any suitable form of moistening pad. After the moistening pad has been'eplaced in position over the coil of hair 3, a clamping shell 4 is placed in position and then ai heating element '5 is placed in position over the shell' 4. The clamp 1 is formed'with members 6 and 7 pivotally connected at 8 and 9 respectively,

link 11 is pivotally con'- to the link 10. A nected at 12 to the member 6, said link be- `which the clamp is ing double and adapted to straddle the end 13 of member 7 when the clamp is closed. An eccentrically mounted cam 14 is pivotally connected at 15 to link 11, said cam having a handle .16 whereby after the members 6 and 7 have been moved as near together as possible, handle 16 may be swung around to substantially the position shown in Figure 2. This will cause the clamp to firmly grip the strands ot' hair making up coil 3. Each of the members 6 and 7 is preferably provided with a yielding clamping pad 17 held in place by any suitable means. ssociated with the respective clamping ineinbers 6 and 7, are spacing bars 18 and 19, said bars being of wood or other desired material and connected to the members 6 and 7 by suitable spacing columns 2O and 21. The members 18 -and- 19 act as clamping means in addition to spacing means, though preferably, the clamping action is not as great as the clamping action produced by members 6 and 7. When the clamping device 1 is to be used, a certain bunch of hair is grasped by the hand of the operator and spread out, after placed in' position .as shown in Figure 5. 'In placing the clamp in position, it is placed as near the scalp as possible. The outer end of the bunch ot hair is then lplaced under the pivotally mounted clamping arm 22. This arm is held pivotally in position byy a spring 23 which preferably extends entirely through the coil rod 2 and forms a turning member 24 adaptsition in any desired manner. rlhe placing of pads on coils of hair is well known and any of the methods now in use might be used,

or the pad might be merely laid over coil 105 3 to substantially cover the saine and then the clamping or retaining shell 4 forced 'over coil 3 and also' over the rod 2 so that-the parts will appear as shown in Figures 6 and 7. rlhe clamping shell 4 is af ed to receive a wrench hereinafter fully deor less in a liqui state, 166

yis applied to the coil 3- and clamped in po-v pair of arc 1110 I in the way just shaped plates connected by a suitable hinge 26 and provided with laterally extending flanges 27 and 2S. This shell is formed with a series of perforations or holes 29 and acts to hold the pad 25 firmly in position, while allowing a circulation of vapor through the holes 29.- After the shell 4 has been placed in position, a spring holder 30 is snapped over the shell 4 as shown in Figures 6 and 7, said holder having looped spring ends 31 and 32 and at the sides having enlarged side clamping sections 33 and 34. These enlarged sections 33 and 34 consist of preferably a tube slipped onto bent ends of the loops 3l and 32, and in this Way the two hinge plates of shell 4 are caused to snugly fit and partly surround the coil 3 as indicated in Figure 7. After the parts have been thus assembled, if it should be desired to tighten the coil 3 or to cause the same to move downwardly to a point near the scalp so as to treat the hair wery near the scalp, a suitable forked wrench may be inserted into the rod 2 so as to stradbar 24. After this has been done, the bar 22 may be rotated and coil 3 tightened and also all the parts moved down to a point near the scalp. To prevent the coil 3 from unwinding, the rod 2 is provided with a ratchet wheel 35 which engages a spring pawl 36, said pawl beingriveted or otherwise secured to shell 4 and when in operative position, acts to prevent a reverse movement of lever 35 and rod 2. After the shell 4 and the clamping structure 30 have been placed in position, the coil 3 may be tightened or operated on as just described, and after this has been done, the heater 5 may be applied by merely forcing the same downwardly over shell 4 until it assumes the position shown in Figures 1 and 7. Different bunches of hair over the head are treated described, and after all of the hair has been coiled and positioned as shown in Figures l and 5 to 7 inclusive, the heat is turned onto the heater 5 and left on for the desired time. The heater 5 is an dle the member or electricl heater of any approved type and ismade partly cylindrical so as to readily fit over shell 4. This heater need not fit snugly over shell 4 but preferably the lower edges rest snugly against the flanges 27 and 28 so that the heat is confined to the point desired. It is understood that heat is applied to all of the coils at the same time, and after the heat treatment, the various members above described are removed and the treatment has been completed.
